We describe a death associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV infection outside Africa that can be linked to Tugela Ferry (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa), the town most closely associated with the regional epidemic of drug-resistant tuberculosis. This case underscores the international relevance of this regional epidemic, particularly among health care workers.

As a result of recent changes to land transport management legislation, Land Transport New Zealand recently undertook a review that aimed at developing procurement procedures and guidelines that provide good quality, integrated and continually improving bus and ferry services for a fair price with reasonable return to operators. In parallel, the Ministry of Transport also undertook a review of ...

The capsizing of a British Channel ferry as it left Zeebrugge, Belgium's harbor, on the 6th of March, 1987, resulted in an all-out effort by Belgian and British authorities to identify the victims as well as to determine the medicolegal ramifications. This report describes the investigation and the lessons learned from it.

A previous correlative study showed that assemblages of macrobenthic infauna and abundances of common taxa on intertidal mudflats differed between a no-wash zone, where ferries had to minimize production of wash, and places where the production of wash was unrestricted (wash zone). This suggested that boat-generated waves (wash) are important in determining the structure of these assemblages. C...

This article presents the most frequent damage in bearing structure of a rail car during rail/sea transportation. The study includes load modes for an open such as unloading with grab and transportation by train ferry. It was found that vulnerable element is top cord. authors suggest applying viscous material (an elastomer) to reinforce solution confirmed means strength calculation, whose resul...
